Hi All!
I had a Linksys E3200, on which I attached a Lacie's 3 TB external HDD. The HDD ran extremely hot within 30 minutes of its operation and I thought that its the routers fault for keeping it always running even when not in use. So I purchased a ASUS AC56U. I thought it would keep cool by running the HDD only when needed, but it's doing the same. It is running so hot that I fear it might die very soon. Can someone please tell me is it safe or should I turn the HDD on only before I actually want to use the HDD?
Regards.
